It wasn't that there were no relations with Sylvain; it was mostly interrupted or overshadowed by other events. As the two main points of contact involved Rosie's intervention from their first envoy, there were the coronation, and their wedding. Each time Kurt was concerned with a much larger issue, Rosie, Horus, and then his honeymoon.

But to say he had ever made it a priority until now would be a lie. Kurt was more than fine with what they had, both kingdoms seemed to be self-sufficient, and non-aggression seemed the logical conclusion.

Ishtar had also left by now the pantheon would mostly know their story about what happened? To Horus. Kurt still wasn't sure if the lie was going to hold out.

The pyramid was a series of five steps, each having room for building, while the top held a mansion he assumed was the throne. In between each step was a slanted wall and stairs case on two sides, alternating, the final staircase leading to the doorway of the mansion.

It was the size of a small town. Though there was more to the city than the pyramid. And there was a port and a shipyard near the sea.

They seemed to only stay on one side of the river. Didn't understand that he had ever thought to build a bridge?

He decided it didn't really matter who really knows these things anyway. They had to actually take the ship to the sea. Kurt hadn't realized that until they started passing the pyramid. There was no port on the river itself. It wasn't even a river very long.

Kurt's envoy was about a dozen or so all included. The goblins, the Minotaurs, and humans, plus the Kitsune. He wasn't sure how that happened exactly.

The port was not very far from the pyramid of Sylvain, and they had their own carriages, though they were not drawn by horses but some other animal that resembled a bull, but with more horns, and a bit longer, and colored more grey than brown.

The problems with the translation spell was some things simply didn't have names, so the 'devar'kegre' was all he heard and he wasn't sure if it was one word or a phrase. Kurt decided to call them pale bulls, and the spell then would be able to give a proper translation. Historically Kurt's names had not been very good.

"Ohh that's weird," said Talia, "it just started calling them Pale Bulls."

"Yeah, you have to like to give it a name sometimes."

"And that's the best name, wait Giant Lizard Ants? That was you, wasn't it? Next time let me choose."

"Do I look like a zoologist? What would you have called them?"

Talia was a little struck by that.

"Don't have an answer do you?"

"Not on the spot like that."

"That's how it happens it's there you have to call it something and whoops now you have horror rabbits hopping around."

The area near the sea had a lot more vegetation than the wastelands ever had though some of the parts of Wellspring were coming around.

The carriage ride suddenly stopped out of nowhere. It wasn't near the pyramid. Kurt was concerned. But then there was a knock at the carriage door.

"Sir Kurt," said Jacob.

He opened the door.

"Why did we stop?"

"It was something about the Kitsune."

"Huh?"

"He wanted to stop, or that's what Stacy said. She would have knocked herself but she said it would be improper for her to do so."

Kurt and Talia walked out. The Kitsune was traveling with Stacy, Maliki, and Jacob in another cart. The two Minotaur guards had been running beside the carriage, but now stood guard around the Kitsune. As the Minotaurs were a bit too big for the carriages, and they could keep up anyway, it was a better guard position.

Kurt didn't really understand why everything seemed to revere the small six-tailed dog, known as Kitsune. That actually was not a translation but a word easy enough for Kurt to pronounce from the Minotaur language, so it stuck.

Kurt was starting to listen more to words under the translation since he noticed Mistress Lilly doing it. At a minimum, he started to hear more words because of it, instead of the flat spell translation.

He watched as Maliki and Stacy walked to a place away from the road.

"I don't understand," said Kurt, "but I don't want to look like a fool here."

"I think he's doing his thing."

"I'm not exactly sure what that is."

"Me either."

So they followed, and the Kitsune seemed to be the only thing knowing where it was going. But after a small walk, it started to glow more and more brightly.

He's seen that before, it was always sort of welcoming though.

Eventually from the glow, a small creature was illuminated.

It seemed a little hurt, or at least tired. It looked like a flying serpent, with two sets of wings, it was a bit above average-sized snake,

"I see," said Maliki, "yes."

Maliki got down on his knees and started to recite a prayer. The Minotaur didn't this time, instead taking a guard. The Kitsune then came up to Stacy and tugged at her leg.

Though it was improper for Stacy to do certain things or even speak at times in Sylvain, as a banished member a direct instruction from the Kitsune seemed to override everything.

"I don't know what to do," said Stacy.

The Kitsune brought Stacy closer to the spirit animal. Then jumped up into Stacy's arms, then pointed at the snake. Then it jumped down.

"You want me to hold it like that?" said Stacy. Kitsune nodded. And Stacy did as she was instructed. And the spirit animal seemed to glow, the mark on her breast shone brighter than it ever had before.

The Kitsune was showing Stacy some of her power. But soon thereafter the creature seemed to spring to life in her arms, and licked her face, getting behind the veil.

"Very well done," said Maliki, "if you thought she chose you only for appearances, I think you can see he did not."

Kurt couldn't see her face through the veil but he knew she was smiling and blushing.

After the spirit animal had flown away, the Litsune took a detour on the way back, and they came to a small graveyard.

The graveyard was strange; it had a magic circle around it.

"If you're winding about the circle," said Jacob, "that's to stop things like Liches from raising them."

Kurt nodded back.

The Kitsune came to the center of the graveyard, and the Minotaurs had stopped others from joining him.

The Litsune glowed, and the circle seemed to be redefined, and beyond that, some small object above some of the graveyard had started to glow then dissipate. Kurt could somehow tell it was giving things peace somehow.

"This was a great honor," said Carson, kneeling toward the Kitsune. The other elves in the party also knelt.

After that, they had made their way back to the carriages and continued to the pyramids.

Kurt was starting to see why the Kitsune was so revered, enough so that Master Trenton said he would behead someone on the spot for hurting it.
